Canada’s Department of National Defence released a photo of a UFO shortly before it was shot down by a US F-22.

In 2023, a US fighter jet shot down a UFO flying over Yukon, Canada.

For the first time, the image of the UFO was released after CTVNews obtained the image through an information request.

The image reportedly shows a “cylindrical suspected balloon” over 40,000 feet above Yukon.

Take a look:

The UFO shot down over the Yukon in 2023 shows similarities to the UFO filmed over South Korea in 2012.@dsotis @Steve_uap2020 @GrantLavac @blackvaultcom @rosscoulthart

The photocopied image of the Yukon UFO is just weird. If unclassified, why not release the real document? What angle are we looking at? I have all the questions. pic.twitter.com/u9mhabD1QC

Per The New York Post:

A newly released image showing the UFO that was shot down by a US fighter jet over Canada in 2023 has added more questions and uncertainty to the object floating over the Yukon.

The grainy, blurry image captured the “cylindrical” “suspected balloon” 40,000 feet above the Great White North in February 2023 days before it was taken out, according to CTVNews, which obtained the image through an information request with Canada’s Department of National Defence.

A US F-22 shot the object, which was first tracked flying over Alaska eight days earlier, out of the sky on Feb. 11, 2023.

Officials in the US and Canada began tracking the UFO again when it crossed into Canadian airspace, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave the order to shoot it down just after 4:50 p.m.

Per KTVZ:

An image of the unidentified object shot down over Canada’s Yukon territory in February 2023 has been obtained by CTVNews.ca.

Released through a Canadian freedom of information request, the grainy image appears to be a photocopy of an email printout.

Heavily redacted documents show how the image was approved for public distribution within days of the headline-grabbing incident, but then held back after a public affairs official expressed concerns that releasing it “may create more questions/confusion.”

Pentagon memo said the Yukon "UFO" appeared to be a "small, metallic balloon with a tethered payload below it."

CTV reporting suggests the photo was taken under the object, looking up at it.https://t.co/xrL2pVzYuO
